June 15, 2003 (Kerrville, Texas).

I live near Detroit MI, in Ontario. I'm in zone 5. This is the second year my Plumbago has bloomed. I bring it in in October, and last year kept it under grow lights, where it bloomed again in winter. It is very easy to grow in a pot, in full sun. Water to keep it from drying out. It seeded itself and I harvested a new plant in the pot, but am not sure how.

I have this one growing in a large container.

I love the blue in the flowers.

Plumbago, Cape Leadwort (Plumbago auriculata) is a nectar source for many types of butterflies and a larval host for several. A pipevine swallowtail ((Battus philenor) is nectaring on a flower.

already quadrupled in size since mid-april

I Love Plumbago...it seems the less attention you give it, the better it grows!

The plumbago has been absolutely amazing this year...so low maintenance too!
